I have grown to dislike him more personally as the years have gone by.

Why is he too good to do the TV interview with ESPN going into halftime of games? He makes his assistant do it because he refuses. I would love to see how that would play out if a SEC football coach pulled that on CBS.

K owes ESPN a debt of gratitude....that network helped make Duke what it is by putting them on TV every night, and he can't give them 60 seconds for an interview?

If people thought that JJ Redick was going match his college numbers in the pros, they probably should stop watching basketball. He was a great spot up jump shooter in college. Every NBA team needs a guy to stand in the corner and make jumpers. He can get 12 points fairly easily because he no longer commands tight defending like he received in college (see: Garrett Temple).

Compare this to his "rival" Adam Morrison, who could shoot fairly well, but was much more of a slasher and all-around scorer in college. Morrison couldn't sustain his game in the NBA because of this, and the fact that he doesn't subscribe to the norms of society, like personal hygiene.

He's expanded his game beyond just jumpshooting, although I do agree not having the other team's best defender has enabled him to score

Devendorf being stuck in the Hansbrough bracket is a tough beat. Hansbrough is the only person in the entire tournament that is a bigger piece of shite than Devendorf. I actively root for syracuse basketball and even I fricking hate the guy.

I can't believe that Dwayne Schintzius didn't make this list. Maybe the fact that he recently passed away kept Grantland from putting him on the list. I'm SEC biased, but I think the only guys who were hated more than him in the 90s were Dookies
